Passes

[CirqueFreak]

My parents our taking my Wife, 2 year old, and myself to stay with them at the Old Key West resort in June 2015. My parents are DVC members, but we are not. The length of stay will be 14 days. Not being eligible for the florida resident discount makes figuring out our pass very difficult. Looking for some advice, should we get the 10 day park hopper at $937 or annual at $1350, or premium at $ 1606? Obviously money is an issue and i am leaning towards the 10 day pass. I have to say I am very disappointed that there is not a length of stay package. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.

I go through this every year I would go for15 days but I got so tired of having to check out after my 14 day. So now they lose money on me because I leave after 14 and I go to Universal for four days ! I agree with you 100%

I feel very limited in my options and would much rather pay for a ticket throughout the year.

If you're looking to fill your 14 days, the 10-day with the Water Park Fun & More add-on [no Hopper, it's nice but not necessary] is $882 for the two of you and you can certainly fill your time. You can fill four or more days at water parks without ever setting foot in the theme parks those days and if you get bored with a particular park that you're at, you can switch over to a water park to fill the rest of that day. You can use a theme park admission and a water park admission on the same day without having Hopper. without Hopper you can only enter one theme park per day, but the Water Park Fun & More add-on allows you to use as many entries as you want and go to different water parks or Disney Quest all the same day, using one "admission" per. With a 10-day theme park ticket, the Water Park Fun & More add-on gives you 10 "admissions". Your ticket expires 14 days from when you first use it, so if you use it on arrival day and stay 14 nights, the ticket would no be valid for use on your departure day, something to keep in mind.

With a 2 year old in tow, you're likely to be exhausted by the end of most days anyway.

We go through the same thing. If we only do 1 trip a year then we go for the 10-day ticket instead of the AP. We usually schedule a few no park days to just relax, swim, shop at DTD, resort hop, etc. So I guess the real questions are......will you realistically go to a park every day and will you return to WDW before your AP expires. If so then the AP is totally worth it.

Maybe a dumb question but if i get the 10 day with water and hopper,do the 10 days have to be consecutive? Because I figure day one we usually do shopping for the week and sams club and maybe could plan dinner somewhere in downtown disney, and the last day could be a boardwalk/downtown day. Maybe throw in a universal day and a resort day and boom we are good. Just want to occupy my kids time appropriately and worry without the AP hes going to be bored

Nope! You have 14 days from the first day you use your ticket to use all 10 days. That's why we do 2-3 park days and put a no park day in.
